Kazuyoshi Miura, affectionately known to the world as “King Kazu,” continues to defy the laws of biological aging. The Japanese football legend has stated his ambition to keep playing professionally until he is 75 years old.
Recognized as the world’s oldest professional goalscorer, Miura’s career spans over five decades. He has played in Brazil, Italy, Croatia, Australia, and Japan, inspiring generations of athletes along the way.
A Living Legend:
- Guinness World Record: He holds the record for the oldest professional player to score a competitive league goal.
- Cultural Icon: Miura is widely believed to be the inspiration behind Tsubasa Oozora in the famous manga “Captain Tsubasa.”
Defying Age: While most athletes retire in their 30s, King Kazu remains on the pitch. “My passion for football has not decayed,” Miura said in a recent interview. “I want to play until I die.”
His dedication to physical conditioning and mental fortitude serves as a blueprint for longevity in sports. Whether he reaches the age of 75 on the field remains to be seen, but his legacy as the “Dad of All Footballers” is already secured.
